I think what's really cool about the Phillies' approach is they're not just focusing on experience, but also giving young guys like Crawford a shot. He's gotta prove himself, of course, but it's refreshing to see them invest in their future. The fact that Miller and Nori are competing with him for spots is great, though - it keeps everyone on their toes. I'm rooting for Crawford to make some noise this season
I'm so excited about this Phillies team! They're really putting their faith in these youngsters like Justin Crawford and Aidan Miller... it's gonna be interesting to see how they all mesh together. I mean, Crawford is already making a statement with his spring training invite, and Miller's power at the plate is insane . And let's not forget Dante Nori - 27th overall pick in '24, big things are expected from him too! The competition for those spots is gonna be fierce, but I think it's awesome that they're giving these guys a shot. Should be a wild ride at spring training this year!
